Versace’s Fall 2017 Men’s Collection May Have Been the First Fashion Show to Acknowledge an Apocalyptic 2016

Donatella Versace’s Fall 2017 collection in Milan was an acknowledgement of uncertain times ahead after a year that included not just Brexit but also the election of Donald J. Trump. So, in the near future, the wardrobe for the Versace man will consist of tough shearling coats, rugged plaid shirts, apocalyptic nylon trenches and hiking sneakers to survive the elements. For some encouragement, the designer embroidered positive words of hope and hidden messages of affirmation on and inside various garments.
